Above all, a driving voltage and a life-span turned out to be superbly improved.

On the contrary, the comparative compounds used as a host in the organic light emitting diodes according to Comparative Examples 1 to 6 had extremely weak electron transport capability and thus hardly accomplished a balance between hole and electron transports or had a structure that carbon adjacent to N of pyridine, pyrimidine, and quinoxaline in a fused ring was unsubstituted, that is, a structure having CH and thus might weaken thermal stability and electric stability of a light emitting layer of an organic light emitting diode when applied thereto and accordingly, turned out to much decrease driving voltages and life-span characteristics of the organic light emitting diodes according to Comparative Examples using them as a host of a light emitting layer.

Subsequently, a 200 Å-thick electron transport layer was formed by depositing Alq3 under the same vacuum deposition condition. On the electron transport layer, a cathode was formed by sequentially depositing LiF and Al to manufacture an organic light emitting diode.

A structure of the organic light emitting diode was ITO/NPB (80 nm)/EML (Compound 11 (97 wt %)+(piq)₂Ir(acac) (3 wt %), 30 nm)/Balq (5 nm)/Alq3 20 nm/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm).
